Re: Rumors
Arrington would be a big hit to the salary cap in 2006 whether he was on the team or off the team. According to Canuck's cap sheets, he's scheduled to count $12 million against the 2006 cap anyway. If releasing him hits us with a cap hit of $11 million in 2006, then that's actually a $1 million savings.
It's hard to know if these numbers are actually right. But one thing's for sure, if we release Arrington in 2006, he's not going to kill the cap like Coles did. He's going to kill our cap whether he's here or not. And if the coaches feel like they're better off with other guys in the lineup, then they might as well cut Arrington loose and clear the cap space for the future.
